Accuracy and Reliability

Cancer registration is a dynamic process: the incidence data presented here may differ from other published data relating to the same time period, including that found on the ISD website, which is extracted separately from the data here. For further information see ISD's Cancer Website (www.isdscotland.org/cancer)

Coherence and Comparability

Time series comparisons are suitable, however cancer registrations may come to light many months or even years after diagnosis and the cancer registration database is continually being updated. The data presented here may therefore, particularly for recent years, differ slightly from other published data relating to the same time period. More detailed data are published on the Cancer pages of the ISD Website (www.isdscotland.org/cancer)
